Important Topics for Analysis of Algorithms

1. Algorithm Complexity:

- Time and space complexity definitions with examples.

- Master theorem and recurrence relations (e.g., Merge Sort).

- Order of growth and asymptotic notations (Big-O, Omega, Theta).

2. Algorithmic Approaches:

- Differences: Greedy, Divide & Conquer, Dynamic Programming.

- Randomized Algorithms: Las Vegas vs Monte Carlo approaches.

3. Key Problems:

- 0/1 Knapsack problem and its variants.

- Minimum Spanning Tree (Prim's and Kruskal's algorithms).

- Cook's theorem; NP, NP-complete, NP-hard problems.

- Pattern Matching Algorithms (KMP, Rabin-Karp).

4. Graph Problems:

- Vertex Cover and Set Cover problems.

- Network flow (Ford-Fulkerson method).
